The Best Way To Store A Tuxedo

By Victor Santerino

Tuxedos are fantastic party suits that are worn by countless numbers of people each and every year. The interesting thing about this statement though is that most of these people only wear them once a year.

I wrote this article to help men and women in their endeavor to safely store their tuxedos. After reading this article you will know all the little nuances that can keep you from safely storing your tuxedo and how to avoid them.

Firstly a person should examine the material and color before putting their tuxedo into storage. Look for discoloring stains or blemishes and make sure they are removed before putting the tuxedo away.

Next a person should make sure there aren't any tears, pulls, or missing buttons before putting putting the tuxedo away. Checking for these damages before putting the tuxedo away will give you the peace of mind you need the next time someone springs a surprise black tie affair on you.

Use a storage area that is tidy and away from any type of light that may discolor the fabric of your tux. This simple step could save you from having to buy a new tuxedo three years from now.

Be afraid of the damages that moths can inflict on clothing. Use this fear in a healthy way to remind yourself to place some sort of cedar material in and around your tuxedo to keep moths away.

Finally, be sure to check on your tuxedo every once in a while. Try the tuxedo on to make sure that it still fits properly and make adjustments when necessary.

The last thing I ask you to do is to go to the top of your browser and click on bookmarks to bookmark this page. Having this page on hand will save you the hassle of looking for it each time you wear your tuxedo. - 16650
